Ekiti State Governor, Ayo Fayose
has issued a full reaction to the violent disruption of the All Progressives
Congress (APC) governorship primary election in Ekiti State.

Fayose had on Saturday issued an
immediate reaction to the outcome.

In a statement he personally
signed on Sunday, Fayose said the situation was a bad sign for the forthcoming
July 14 election.

He said: “What was witnessed
yesterday was a show of shame. It is a sad day for democracy in Nigeria, especially
from a party in government that prides itself as the progressive.

“It is a clear indication that
APC will fail woefully in the July 14 governorship election because apart from
its rejection by Ekiti people, the party has become a house divided against
itself, its center can never hold.

“We thought that we have gone
beyond the era of ballot box stuffing and snatching as well as violence and
killings during elections until yesterday’s show of shame.

“As usual, nobody has been
arrested and I am sure that no one will be brought to justice.

“This development should be of
great concern to all well-meaning Nigerians as we approach the Ekiti and Osun
States elections as well as the 2019 elections.

“Another worrisome development is
the information at my disposal that the APC is plotting to sponsor thugs to
disrupt the PDP primary election scheduled for Tuesday, May 8, 2018 so as to
create the impression that violent is common to all political parties.

“I therefore call on security
agencies to act decisively to nip this sinister plan in the bud. The police
should not shy away from its responsibilities. Ekiti was adjudged by the police
as the most peaceful State in Nigeria, it must remain so.

“In the last three years, our
State has been peaceful and never witnessed any sponsored political violence or
killing until this APC’s desperation sets in.

“I also call on Nigerians, as well as the
international community should focus their attention on Ekiti State from now
on. Ekiti people must be allowed to choose their next governor under a free and
fair atmosphere.”
